Walking the dogs.

Hibbs, Heeks and myself go for a walk everyday. We live across the street from a pond so we often walk around the pond. Normally it takes us about twenty minutes to go around. Sometimes we go around the pond twice a day depending on the weather.

I do not let the weather deter us from walking for the most part but when it is really bad outside we just go up the street instead of around the pond or we just don't go that day. We are expecting another snow storm in the New England area tonight. Walking after the snow storm is sometimes challenging. If it is slushy the dogs want to come right back because the slush goes up inside there paws. One of my neighbors and fellow dog walker has a small poodle. He has booties he puts on his dog in the bad weather. I have never tried that. If it is really bad outside we skip our walk for that day and I feel like that is alright because we go every other day.

I walk the dogs everyday as much for myself as for them. We all benefit from the exercise and we all love to be outdoors. We are fortunate to have lovely and ever changing scenery around our neighborhood. Do you walk your dog everyday? Where do you walk?
